998 Messi, you know what?
While Real Madrid meet the Greeks at the Bernabeu, Barcelona travel to Milan, Italy, to take on AC Milan in what is the third clash of the season between the two teams.
Barcelona met AC Milan in the group stage, and the score of the two legs was 2-2 at home and 2-3 away, both of which were very dangerous.
Allegri was a remnant in this game, Van Bommel and Thiago Silva were unavailable, the veteran Nesta partnered Mex's central defence, and the unstable Bonella also got the start, all of which are great news for Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola started the game with the main line-up, with Valdés in goal, Abidal, Puyol, Pique and Alves in the back, Sergio Busquets in the midfield, Seydou Keita and Xavi in the middle, Iniesta on the left side of the front, Messi in the middle, and Sanchez on the right wing.
It is clear from the starting line-up that Barcelona are very serious about this game, with Pep Guardiola clearly hoping to win AC Milan away and progress to the semi-finals, and he has also found a tactical pattern of switching back and forth between a back three and a back four in recent times.
That's Alves.
When Alves appeared up front, Barcelona automatically switched to a back three, and if Brazil's right wing-back dropped, Barcelona reverted to a back four, and in this way Guardiola kept exploring new ideas.
But this time they were faced with Italian-style reinforced concrete.
Ten minutes into the game, Barcelona were still unable to find form and rhythm, which is a common problem for Pep Guardiola's team, which has been the case for the last year or two, and after ten minutes, Barcelona found their senses, but AC Milan also held their ground.
The subsequent results were obvious, Bonella and Antonini, who were originally hidden dangers, played at a very high level in this game, not only completing the defensive task, but also effectively filling the team's defensive holes.
Barcelona kept possession as always, but were as unthreatening as ever.
Pep Guardiola stubbornly insisted on playing ground-penetrating and cross-cutting combinations, hoping to break down the opponent's defense by pushing forward little by little, but AC Milan completely blocked Barcelona out of the penalty area through layered linkage.
It is clear that Allegri has also found a way to restrain Barcelona through the two games in the group stage.
Pep Guardiola made just one substitution throughout the game, bringing on Pedro for Alexis Sanchez, but there was no improvement in performance.
As a result, the scoreboard remained unchanged by the referee's final whistle as Barcelona were held to a miserable draw away from AC Milan.
They had over 65 per cent possession and eighteen shots on goal, but only three were actually on target, while AC Milan had six shots on goal, three on target, and never received a single corner.
Obviously, it was another game of crushing possession and lackluster attack.
Because Messi is dumb again!

"Damn the turf, I'm sure they must have done it before the game, and they didn't sprinkle it at all."
"It must be so, look at that bad turf, they did it on purpose."
'We found out yesterday when we were familiar with the training on the field and made a request, but they are still like this, and we must go to UEFA to prosecute them.
"The turf today was terrible, there were a lot of mistakes and the ball was not easy to control."
……
The Barcelona players walked off the pitch with a word, everyone was sweating profusely, but the expressions on their faces were full of resentment.
Obviously, none of them were happy with the result.
According to UEFA rules, on the morning of the Champions League match, representatives of the two clubs, the referee and UEFA officials meet to discuss matters related to the match.
Barcelona has already raised questions with the club after getting familiar with the venue yesterday, and I believe that the club representative must have raised it with AC Milan today, but the venue is still so bad.
AC Milan said that it was a problem with the microclimate inside the stadium, a dead knot for many years in this stadium, and that the stadium had to arrange matches between AC Milan and Inter Milan at the same time, which was a very heavy task, so the conditions of the field have been very unsatisfactory, and they have changed the turf, but it has not worked.
If it is a win, then naturally this interpretation will be within the range of Barcelona's acceptance, for example, in the fifth round of the group stage, Barcelona beat AC Milan 3-2 away, and the venue is not an issue.
The problem now is that the away team is drawn 0-0.
It's not a bad score, but it's not a good score either.
What's more, AC Milan have found a way to restrain Barcelona, which worries the Barcelona players.
Is it going to stop at the quarterfinals this season?
……
Messi still drooped his head, not letting people see his expression at this moment.
He's always like this, not much talking, a little mysterious, but a little emotional, elusive.
His performance in this game was also not ideal, and the AC Milan players did everything to deal with him, and the fans even attacked him with green laser lights in the stands, which seemed to play a role.
Messi followed his teammates off the pitch slowly, and just as he was about to come to the away team's coach's box, he saw the cry of the AC Milan fans in the stands, "Hey, Messi, he also has five sons, you know?" ”
Then there was a burst of laughter.
After hearing this, Messi suddenly raised his head, first looked at the gloating looks of the AC Milan fans in the stands, and secretly vowed in his heart that when he returned to the Camp Nou, he must give them the most painful lesson and use his goals!
But what he cares more about now is the one who the AC Milan fans shouted out.
Who? Yang Yang?
He also staged the fifth son Dengke?
Messi quickly walked into the away coaching area and came to the assistant coach Vilanova.
"Hey, Tito, how's it going over there?" Messi asked anxiously.
"It's six to one for the time being, and the game is coming to an end."
Messi's heart jumped, "Yang Yang...... Also scored five goals? ”
Vilanova looked at Messi in front of him and nodded, "Five goals, one assist, since the eighty-fourth minute, I've been looking for opportunities to score another goal. ”
He still wants to score another goal?
Messi gritted his teeth, he felt like he was going crazy.
Why did he just stage the fifth son Dengke, and Yang Yang also came to the fifth son Dengke as soon as he turned around?
What's even worse is that he even wants to enter the sixth one!
Do you really want to kill them all like this?
Is it true that there is no chance left for me at all?
Messi borrowed a mobile phone from Vilanova and watched the game live directly through the mobile network.
In the ninety-second minute, Atlético Greeks retreated across the board, Modric sent a pass, Yang Yang won the ball at the edge of the penalty area, his right foot buckled past the defender, and his left foot hit a low flat ball, but it was blocked by the defender in the penalty area.
The ball still fell at the feet of the Real Madrid player, but Yang Yang failed to score again.
However, he didn't seem to care, still raising his hand and calling out to his teammates.
Real Madrid are now pressing on all of them, forming an overwhelming advantage over the Greeks, and it is clear that everyone wants to help Yang Yang score this goal again.
He's so popular!
Messi thought to himself.
If you ask yourself, if it were him, the Barcelona players might not have been able to help him so together.
Unconsciously, the Barcelona players also noticed Messi's movements, and they all came closer, and when they saw the live broadcast of the game on the mobile phone screen in Messi's hand, they were all silent, all staring at the small mobile phone screen, and staring at the Real Madrid player wearing the No. 11 jersey on the screen.
…………
…………
The game time is passing bit by bit, whether it is all the Barcelona players in the away coach's box at the San Siro Stadium, or the more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu Stadium, all watching Yang Yang who is trying to score goals on the field.
The live TV camera specially gave a certain position in the chairman's stand, Real Madrid's former star Golden Wolf Guti appeared in everyone's sight with his girlfriend, he dyed his blonde hair, grew a beard, and still looked like the maverick golden wolf of the year.
Guti returned to Spain after negotiating a termination of his contract with Turkish side Besiktas in November last year, hoping to play in La Liga, but failed to find a home during the winter break, instead meeting the Spanish supermodel who is now sitting next to him, Berlucio.
In Spain and even in Europe, the stars of the top leagues are often the target of supermodels and entertainment actresses, even if Berlucio is quite famous in Spain, even if Guti is a former Real Madrid player who is about to retire, but it is still a hot and sought-after commodity.
At this time, after watching tonight's game, the golden wolf Guti couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart at this moment, and the whole person stood up from his seat, grabbed the iron guardrail in front of him hard, and shouted vigorously: "Work harder, Yang!" ”
"Work harder, it's still a little bit closer, there's a chance!"
Bellucio sat on the sidelines, unable to understand why Guti's emotions were so excited at this moment, because in her opinion, this had nothing to do with Guti, and even Yang Yang's performance had nothing to do with Guti.
But he was still so carried away that he even completely forgot everything and immersed himself in the game.
……
Inside the stadium, Real Madrid are constantly organizing their attacks, from the left to the middle to the right......
Constantly trying and attacking, trying again and again, and returning again and again in vain.
Atletico Greece are clearly guarding the last vestiges of their dignity and are doing everything they can to prevent Real Madrid from scoring.
Even if they've conceded six goals.
Even if they are destined to end in a crushing defeat tonight.
But they were still trying their best to stop each other.
Ibrahimovic retreated to the outside of the box, received a pass from David Silva, stopped with his right foot, picked it up again, and picked it directly to the left side of the box.
Marcelo cut into the box as fast as he could, chested Ibrahimovic's ball forward, and crossed directly with his left foot, trying to send the ball into the box, but at this time, Atletico Greeks retreated almost all the way, and the box was full of people.
The ball touched the defender, bounced high, and failed to pass to Yang Yang's feet as expected.
